“Cannabis has allowed me to live my life,” said David Leclerc, insisting that he have an opportunity to deliver his message to the public.

Leclerc, who was born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, said he suffered his first seizure at the age of 17 at a downtown business establishment and has battled this condition for nearly four decades. He produced a laundry list of medications that had been prescribed over the years which either failed to work or produced terrible side effects.

“It just made my life miserable,” he said, noting he had been treated at a variety of different clinics and hospitals. “I’ve seen a lot of specialists.”

As a medical marijuana card holder, Leclerc has finally found relief.

“I’m a standing example,” he said. “I don’t understand why this stuff is against the law. All I’m trying to do here is say ‘let’s move on.’”
